=====================
ComedySportz (aka the National Comedy Theatre) is available for rentals for theatrical productions, film shoots, casting, classes, corporate meetings and parties.
We've hosted Christopher Guest's film For Your Consideration. We've hosted ABC Television's The Bachelor. We've hosted classes for Walt Disney. We've hosted many showcases and many theatre productions, including LA's longest-running hit show, ComedySportz. Why not you?
Our theatre is a jewel-box of a theatre, unlike most you will find in Los Angeles. It is a beautiful, well-maintained art deco building with a rich history as the Melrose Theatre, the HBO Workspace and ComedySportz. Our patio and studio theatre offer multiple spaces that are perfect for the additional needs of film/tv shoots. The seating is intimate and comfortable.
Location
Our theatre is located at 733 Seward Street in Hollywood, 1/2 block north of Melrose and 5 blocks east of Highland in the Hollywood Media District. We are tucked away on a quiet street that is home to the film industry--studios, sound engineers, special effects labs, film vaults. At night, free street parking is ample.
Facility
We have two theatre spaces:
Mainstage Theatre seats approximately 85 people in a combination of fixed and flexible seating. The proscenium opening is 18 feet across; the playing space is 13.5 feet deep.
The Ball Room, our studio theatre, seats 30 and is ideal for classes. The stage is about 15 feet wide by 10 feet deep.
We also have a spacious patio and lobby, both of which can be used for meetings, celebrations and catering.
